I'm also sick of hearing about Swiss privacy laws. Their intelligence service got busted covering for a US and German spy front operation in Switzerland. If it happened once, I promise it has happened before and since.
Edit for those who can't click: a front company in Switzerland sold fake encrypted communications services around the world for years, possibly decades, with the assistance of Swiss intelligence agencies.
On the Nintendo page for it, it says the motion controlled games require a joycon, but those games are disabled for online play. Maybe there will be an option to disable them for local play too?
They aren't burning fossil fuels. They're burning CHOOH2, which is the product of a genetically engineered plant.
Everything else has already been addressed by others. It's a dystopia. Public transit exists in universe, but it's very dangerous (as is the rest of the city). The corporate solution is to upsell you cars.
Yeah, I was thinking about changing over, because while I like PopOS, it has some issues on my rig. It wasn't as troublesome as Fedora, but laggy animations, Pop Shop crashing, and its very outdated version of GNOME were starting to frustrate me.
I'm actually testing EndeavorOS in a live environment right now to get a feel for it! I've always been hesitant to try Arch in any form because my main Linux buddy warned me it was a quick way to ruin your system.
I use this PC a lot, so I have no problem updating it several times a week or more. So fingers crossed I don't screw it up lol.
I thought I was going insane with Fedora. Literally every flatpack I tried had major issues. Went back to an ubuntu-based distro after a month of fix attempts.
Thanks man, and thanks for hosting this instance.
It's got updates from earlier this year. It appears to be updated periodically since it was first written. Some sections are old, while others are fairly new.
I do like Tutanota's approach to encryption, but communication outside of other Tutanota addresses is less secure than PGP. It's just a symmetric, password-based scheme.
Since you will probably deal with a lot of non-tuta email providers, it's a hard sell for me. In network, though, it's good.
Second issue I had with it was the email client. I like my third party client and it's built into my workflow. Tuta doesn't support third party clients because they consider the storage of emails on your local drive a security risk. (That's only true if your hard drive isn't encrypted, and setting up encryption isn't all that hard to do)
I use K9. It went through a rough patch a few years ago with the UI, but it's much better now. Mozilla is involved and K9 is in the process of becoming the Thunderbird app.
Yeah, his requirements for an email provider are well above what most people need.
Email is not a secure means of communication in most cases. If the recipient isn't encrypting, then your communications to them are vulnerable anyway. And in the vast majority of cases, they probably aren't.
Really, the best thing about getting a more privacy conscious provider is not giving all your data over to Google.
When I was a little kid, maybe 5 years old, my family lived in this old house that used to be a Civil War hospital during a few battles.
All kinds of weird shit happened there, but one event stands out.
I was sleeping between my parents in their bed on the second floor. I woke up. It was late and very dark.
I looked to my right and saw the curtains blowing in. The windows were painted shut. I watched as the curtains start to slide off the wall. It looked like someone was holding them up. I shit you not. Like I could see feet just underneath the bottom.
The curtains moved to the foot of the bed, and fell.
I don't remember seeing this, but my parents swear I told them that when the curtains fell, a woman with a yellow dress and no eyes had been holding them up, and that she stood at the foot of the bed for a while.
The curtains, according to my parents, we're in fact on the floor at the foot of the bed. I can't vouch for that though because I was a kid and frankly, don't remember.
My best non-supernatural explanation is that I had sleep paralysis that night and hallucinated much of what I saw. I've had it chronically since, so it's possible.
I don't know though. It's one of those things I think about late at night when I have too much free time. What the fuck did I see?
Self hosted email is its own can of worms. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone outside of experienced IT people. You'll end up blacklisted before you send your first email if you do anything wrong (and there's a lot that can go wrong), and it doesn't solve any security problems email has.
Anything sent over email just isn't private. That goes for Proton customers when they send or receive anything from a non-Proton address too. The one thing privacy email providers can actually do is keep your inbox from being scanned by LLMs and advertisers. That doesn't prevent the inboxes and outboxes of your contacts from being scanned, though.
If you use email, the best thing you can do is be mindful of what kinds of information you send through it. Use aliases via services like simple login or anonaddy when possible. Having a leaked email is a security vulnerability. Once bad actors have your email, they now have half of what they need to breach multiple accounts.
